The Rev. Samuel Graham preached
his farewell sermon in the Presby-
terrain church last Sunday morning to
q large and attentive audience. The
sermon was an able effort and held the
congregation for about forty minutes.
Before beginning the sermon he gave
an account of his labors in this place
and Newburg. He has lived in this
county for almost sixteen years and
has baptised over 200 children, msr-
ried more than 100 couple, attended
100 funerals, not counting the victims
of the mine disaster, and received. ON
an average more than 10 persons in.
to the church each year. lie leaves

of labor in Pennsylvania much to the
regret OF all who have had the pleas
Ure OF knowing him and his family.
Mr.. Graham is true christian gen
tleman, Jealous in his labors for his
church, and a friend to all. May lie
prosper in his new field is the wish
OF the ARGUS.

son, of Chicago, who has been In this city
for the past two weeks for the purpose Of
introducing street railway, was acci-
dentally killed while hunting near Valeria
point about twenty miles from this CITY
on the Diagonal railroad this morning. He
was out there shooting ducks yesterday, in
tending to leave for Chicago in the evening.
After leaving he appears to have decided to
take another day of Eunting, at least he
said so in letter received. this morning. A
telephone message from Valeria states that
he left the depot this morning and had pro-
ceedeG but short distance when his gun
was accidentally discharged, the load enter
ing the left side near the abdomen; that he
lived but half an hour and that he died at
9:55 a. m. The sad news was telegraphed
to his wife, who is the oldest daughter of
S. B. Windus. residing at 1913 West
Twenty third street. The body was laid
out in the depot at Valeria and everything
done that thoughtfulness could suggest.
Mr.. Morrison was about 80 years of age and
most genial man, happy in his family re-
latiOnS and prosperous in business. He
was survivor of the celebrated Jeanette
expedition, having been with the John
Rogers when she was burned. His parents
reside in Michigan. and he has brother at

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. April IA few
years ago in hamlet in New Brunswick
Alfred Russell, young mechanic, courted
young girl, who subsequently married
Saltwater, Mimi, logger named Kinds and
went there to live with him. Russell came
West and went into the employ of the Eau
CLAIRE Street Railway company. On visit
to Saltwater over year ago he met his old
flame. still comely young woman of %.
Kinds, the husband. was in the pineries.
Russell and Mrs. Kinds fled together to
Hudson, where they had marriage cere-
mony performed Jan. 10, 1886, Russell sup
posing. he claims. that she had been di-
yorced from Kinds. The pair came thence
to Eau Claire and lived together here till
early in October last, when Kinds appeared
and caused their arrest. the charge against
both being adultery. The woman was
in delicate condition, and. though held
for trial, was released on her own
recognizance. soon after giving birth to a
child. Russell was held for trial and lay in
jail here till to-day, when he was tired and
acquitted on account of insufficiency of evil
dence. Kinds appeared and testified that
the woman was his wife, put no testimony
was produced to show that Russell had
lived with her as his wife. Russell who had
nearly became insane during his six months
Imprisonment. was wild with joy over his
acquittal. and said with tears that he would
at last be able to see his baby. The woman
had been living at another city during Rus
sells Imprisonment and had cOrrespOnded
regularly with him. The charge against
her will probably not be pressed. Kinds
will begin proceedings for divorce, When
he secures it Russell and the woman will be
married by bona fide ceremony.

A Rush for iron Lands.

Cpccidi tO lnS 0lODe.
DULUTH, Mimi, April 7.-Great excite
ment exists on Vermilion and other neigh
boring iron ranges near Tower. Discoveries
of really valuable ores are being made daily
and the country IS filling up with pros
pectors and locating parties. Plats of town
81, range 16. near Tower, were opened at
the land office in Duluth this morning and
general scramble for choice locations took
place thirty-four homesteads being taken
up in short time, none of which were
more than six miles distant from
Tower. President Charlemagne Tower
and Supt. Lee, of the Duluth
d Iron Range, were among the number
who got in Oh the ground floor as were also
other prominent officials of railroads and
Minnesota iron companies. Crowds of peo-
pie are i'll waiting for tine opening of the
land office Saturday, when the rush will
be resumed. The trains of the Duluth dS
Iron Range road are loaded with passengers
and building material and really legiti-
mate activity has sprung up. Some parties
were offered large sums of money for their
entries Immediately after making them, but
no one appears anxious to sell. The Iron
Range railroad will push the building Of
the road extensions as soon as material can
be obtained. About six square miles of ter
ritory We're located to-day and greater re-
suits are to be expected now that iine
weather prevails.

CHICAGO, April IA largely-attended
meeting of managers and other persons
connected with the theater business was
held here to-day to consider the effects of the
interstate commerce law upon their inter-
ests. Representatives from all the Chicago
theaters, the theater printing establishments
and a large number of travelling companies
were present. A great many speeches were
made, each detailing instances of what was
claimed to be gross imposition on the part
OF the railroads, and suggesting va
riOus measures of redress. The enor-
nous increase in excess charges on
baggage was the main grievance.
The plan of procedure which
met with most favor was that the na tional
commission be asked to suspend for this
season the provisions of the law, which, as
interpreted by the railroads, brings hard
ship on the theatrical people. 1t was urged
that this would be no more than just, mas
much as the majority of contracts made
prior to the passage of the law contained
clauses with which it had now become
otherwise practically impossible to comply.
A motion to refer the whole matter to a
committee of ten, with instructions to re-
port Saturday, was unanimously adopted
The committee is composed Of Chairman
McCaull, three Chicago theater managers,
three members of travelling troupes and
three show printing-house proprietors.
